I have lived in bay area over 25 years and I did not know this restaurant exist till recently through yelp review. Today I tried the bún bò Huế and bánh xèo at the Tully road Lion food court, and both were surprisingly impressive for a casual spot. The bánh xèo stood out immediately. It was extremely crispy without being greasy, which is hard to get right. The filling was generous with green bean , bean sprouts , onion and crispy pork, giving it a nice texture contrast in every bite. It felt light but still very satisfying and not too guilty as its not oily :) The bún bò Huế was even more memorable. The broth was rich and aromatic with a strong lemongrass presence, but importantly, it didn't have that overly salty or "thirsty" MSG-heavy feeling that some versions have. It tasted clean yet flavorful, and the portion was very generous--I actually had to share it with a friend because it was too much for one person. There are big pork bone, pork blood , lots of beef n Pork . Overall, this was a pleasant surprise for a food court experience. Both dishes felt well-executed, flavorful, and better than expected in terms of quality and balance. This is self service spot and tips not required . I still left them some tips as the owner very nice and helpful to show me what their speciality in menu.
I'm not in this area often and had to get my hands on some banh khot. I got it to go, and they do charge a little more for to go. I appreciated all the fresh veggies they give for 7 pieces of banh khot. However, possibly because it sat in the car for 15 minutes but they weren't super crispy and not the best banh khot I've had but pretty tasty.
I came here on a Tuesday morning with my husband. We rang the bell to let them know we were there, and a lady quickly came out and took our order. We ordered Bún Bò Huế without pork blood and without pork feet. There was no problem at all--they even gave us more meat instead, which I really appreciated. I do wish she smiled a bit more, but maybe that's just her personal style. The food arrived in less than 10 minutes. I loved the soup base and how consistent the flavor was. The broth tasted just right for me--rich, balanced, and comforting. The portion was big enough to fill me up, and I eat a lot. The vegetables were clean and well washed. The pork ham (I believe it was chả Huế) was slightly sweet, but overall, the bowl was excellent. I've tried Bún Bò Huế at many places before, and this one was the most consistent and satisfying I've had. Definitely a solid spot if you're craving authentic Bún Bò Huế.
Hands down best banh khot I've ever had in my life. It came with so much delicious leafy greens / assorted herbs. It was perfection. I WILL be back.
One of the few places in town that make banh khot well. Unfortunately, it is overpriced, but it is good quality! Crispy exterior and the perfect amount of batter-to-shrimp ratio. They have many other Central Vietnamese dishes, but I only come here for the banh khot. If only it was more affordable, I would come here more often. FYI - 7 pieces of Banh Khot is $16.50 ***They accept Apple Pay :)
first time trying banh khot! took about 15m wait time for the food, appreciated that they took apple pay. came with a generous portion of greens as well. liked the crispy exterior of the banh kho, very fun appetizer to try.
I used to like their grilled pork rolled rice cake so much until i ordered one this morning, and there was a hair in my food. Furthermore, the service was so disorganized. I'll never come back
Not many places in San Jose offer banh knot, but Quan Hue is one of the couple of places that does! Located in a food court, you'll have to navigate through a corridor of shops and then a courtyard from the parking lot in order to reach Quan Hue in the back of this Vietnamese shopping plaza. The Banh Khot (also called Vietnamese Moon Cakes on their menu) consist of nine pieces and served with greens, mint, and a dipping sauce. These seemed to also be filled with a mung bean filling inside and topped with a shrimp. We also got some Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls that came three to an order and were served with a peanut dipping sauce with sriracha on top. These were pretty sizable, and I really liked the peanut sauce! They ran out of Banh Beo, so we decided to get something else that was somewhat similar. Their Banh Uot Tom Chay are rice rolls with ground shrimp on top. They come with a side of bean sprouts and fish cake, as well as a dipping sauce.
I was craving banh kot so badly since I had it in LA. This place had high ratings, so my husband and I ventured out to this food court area in East San Jose. The food court was absolutely bustling which was a great sign the food was legit. It's quite packed inside and the bathrooms were out of order. My husband found a table outside which was a little chill. My hubby ordered Bun Bo hue and I went for my banh kot. My husband's soup came out in 5 minutes looked tasty with all the trimmings. Mine was a 20 minute wait as they were making it fresh. When it finally arrived, I was famished and it was piping hot. It looked so tasty and came with tons of greens to wrap up my little banh kot pieces. There was an abundance of mint, romaine, cilantro, ram rao, and some other leaves that were tasty. I also had fish sauce which I requested no chili. When I put it all together, the flavors exploded in my mouth. Everything was so fresh and these were just as good as the ones I had in LA. I wish I knew how to make these at home! Overall an easy 5 stars! I'll be back!
A stall or spot located in the food court area of Lion Plaza. This place feels family owned and operated and has been here for years. The folks here are friendly. They specialize in Vietnamese food from the Hue area or central Vietnam. I haven't really tried a lot of their dishes, because the first time I got the food here is when my brother brought me here to pick up some of their banh uot thit nuong or BBQ pork wrapped with rice cake before heading to a UFC event in the San Jose arena years ago. My parents and I were having a Vietnamese food day and this is one of the places I insisted on stopping by because I wanted it their rolls. I'm sure the rest of the food is delicious if it's anywhere near the quality of the BBQ pork rolls that we had. I hope to try more items on the menu in a future visit. On this visit, though, we had to reserve some stomach space lol. Such a nice gem located in a crowded Vietnamese food area.
Found this gem by accident. Bo Ne was so busy that a lot of customers who don't want to wait 40-50 mins for the order (me included) have to venture around and check out other options. This little place caught my attention because of its bahn beo on the picture menu. I had it one time in Vietnam for breakfast on the street and it was soft and delicious! Let's backup a bit. We were planning to try the Bo Ne, which is inside the same food court and take note, this is not the Lion Market food court as i originally thought. Park on the Lion Market supermarket parking lot, then as you walk towards Lion, you'll see an alley (could be blocked by the merchandise the vendors set out), walk pass the alley and you'll enter another court yard with more shops. Look for a door and enter as it's the food court. This place is inside the food court! The whole ambiance is as authentic as going to Vietnam. Don't expect clean utensils or sanitized ways of food handling. As I was waiting for my food, I saw the lady cooking in the kitchen dumped the food from a plate to a take out container, then without gloves touched the food item by item to rearrange the plating, then took it out to the front counter, and slid the fingers across the door frame as she walked back to the kitchen. There was a clear black patched area on the door frame that marked probably the daily touchy wear and tear. They give a cup of hot tea with the order and there's no free water in the food court. Now back to food. Bahn Khot is also good. It looks like deep fried and I was worried it would be too hard and dry, but no, the circular shape bite size tart was soft in the inside with a taste of coconut milk. It's delicious. The salad is universally the same across all dishes which has a few kinds of herbs and a few pieces of lettuce. Those herbs are not my liking but do look authentic. The bahn beo which is steamed rice cake with sprinkled shrimp on top is very soft and flavorful. Very lovely to finally eat it here again. It seems their other popular item is #9, BBQ pork in rice roll. I see people order a whole party tray of it. By 1pm, when customers wanted to order it as a lunch item it was all sold out. Next time I will want to try this, which looks like a spring roll but thinner with BBQ pork and lettuce inside. They take credit card and if you pay cash they give you a small 3.8% discount. But they even take American Express credit card. So all is great! Happy we found this dingy place!
Finally had a chance to try this place after having it bookmarked for years! All I have to say is WOW and I'm addicted. The thit nuong rolls were absolutely delicious and you can tell they were made fresh. The perfect amount of rice wrap to filling ratios. And my personal favorite was the banh khot. Omg I'm still drooling over these perfect little "pancakes". This place is a must try if you're in the area.
Came by for lunch and it was a decent, albeit warm experience. Parking was plentiful in the rather decrepit strip mall parking lot. Quan Hue is located inside a food court. Opted for the Bun Bo Hue for $16.5. They now take credit cards and offer a ~5% discount for paying in cash. The food was ready within a few minutes and there were numerous tables within the food court to eat on-site. The broth was clear and pretty clean. The beef shank was tender and flavorful. The pork trotter was gigantic, quite fatty, although tasty. There were a few pieces of meat loaf along with a decent amount of noodles. The biggest challenge was the rather warm and stuffy food court. ~$18/head after tax for lunch. read more

We go to San José twice a month to get some authentic Vietnamese food. It does not have to be fancy, but good food sometimes comes from some hole in the wall, at affordable prices, with some decent service and no tablecloths. Such as Quán Huế on Tully Road. Located in a food court, with tables in the middle, and " restaurants" selling food, you can order to eat there, but most people ( me included ) like to order " to go ". You order, you pay, wait 10-15 minutes ( longer if they are busy ) and it's ready. Our fave are the egg noodles with Duck, with shiitake mushrooms and greens, with pickled papaya and picked green chili peppers. Our son likes the egg noodles with sliced pork and shrimps. They have good spring rolls too, shrimp and rice noodles wrapped in rice paper. They have a great menu, and most of them are all popular. People also big trays of Vietnamese salad , or steamed rice noodles with beef for parties. This stand or " restaurant" is very popular. We come and order takeout here first, then go buy other food at Kim Sandwiches or Euro Delights who are in the same plaza, then come back to pick up our order. Parking is plentiful at this shopping plaza. read more

The banh khot here is pretty good! It's a bit pricey, but I think it's one of the better banh khots around here. The outside is crispy and the inside has a soft texture-- reminds me of the ones I had growing up. They also do catering here, FYI. They have other items on their catering menu that isn't on their normal menu. read more
Anther go to for Vietnamese food craving spot & the lion plaza. There's not a lot of places we've found that sell banh uot thit nuong, so we always return. We also love the banh xeo! Since nothing is premade it takes a little bit for things to be cooked and for her to ring the bell to let you know it's ready. Service is sharp and straight to the point because there might be a language barrier, so just point or say the number you want. Credit is accepted, but cash is cheaper and they charge for to-go containers as an FYI. Prices over the years have definitely gone up, but the quality seems to remain the same. They sell a variety of other staple Vietnamese dishes and sometimes have things off the menu (leftover for sale from catering orders). read more

I heard good things about this place, so I asked someone to pick up a portion of bun rieu for me. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The soup portion was quite small, and the toppings were not very diverse. Because of this experience, I don't feel motivated to visit the restaurant in person. I hope the quality can be improved. read more

2.5 This place is located inside the Lion plaza food court. Specializes in Hue style cuisine, central Vietnam. Everything here is decent but not great. BBH has too much MSG in broth and is not clean or flavorful. Cuốn thịt nướng is unique, but they don't give as much meat as before and the rice roll got thicker. bánh xèo here is crispy but the dough is too thick and way too oily. It's supposed to be a thin, crispy shell, almost crêpe like. On Sundays, there's a lady with short hair, that's very curt and unfriendly. I asked for napkins and she asked me why, for what? LOL just give me the damn napkin lady, I'm a paying customer who ordered multiple dishes. read more
Solid/strong 3 stars low 4 stars for the owner having a good convo with me lol. BBH - surprisingly very good. A bit bland but thats ok. Ingredients are all well cooked Thit nuong cuon - owner said this was her specialty and it fell short for me. Too much veggies. All i tased was veggie crunch. The noodle skin needs to be the star here and you can't even taste the thit nuong I definitely want to try their banh khot and mi quang next time I'm here read more
I was craving Bánh Khọt (Vietnamese savory pancakes) because I came across a viral Instagram reel one night of a Bánh Khọt lady and was torn when I realized that reel was of a place in SoCal. My stomach growled all night. I was on a mission the next day to find a local San Jose spot for Bánh Khọt. I take my cravings very seriously :') I landed on coming here and this spot is in a Vietnamese food court, in a Vietnamese plaza where there's the Lion market on Tully. My parents used to come to this same food court as a quick breakfast stop whenever they'd come to town to visit me and I hadn't been here in years. My parents knew what was up all along...I should have known. I ordered the Bánh Khọt which was 7 mini savory pancakes for $15 and also got an order of Bánh Bột Lọc that was 4 for $4. I placed my order to-go and devoured my lunch in less than 10 minutes. That Bánh Khọt hit the spot forsure and I'll be back again since I saw some pretty other good items on their menu I'll have to come back for! read more
I love the mi quang here! It's similar to the style from da lat and is different from other versions. It's less salty and has more texture because they used ground pork, dried shrimp and diced jicama. The portion is also pretty large for $15. The space is just a good court so it's nothing special but it's clean enough to enjoy the food. I'd come back here if I'm craving for mi quang. read more
I was meeting a friend around brunch time but I had already had a big breakfast so I decided to order some fresh Vietnamese spring rolls from Quan Hue. They were priced at $9 for three rolls and the lady taking my order said it would take 15 minutes to prepare. I guess she had to start from scratch. An additional 50 cents for a togo container. About 15 minutes later, I had my order and headed home. Honestly, the rolls looked pretty good and the crunch was very satisfying. Everything about it was fresh though the dipping sauce was a little too sweet and dark for my taste. I have purchased rolls from Bahn Mi restaurants and they definitely a class below these rolls. Maybe next time I will try something else from the menu. read more

I'm always happy about new spots opening up! I can't wait to try Hon's Wun-tun House #2 (SF) in the former Washington Bakery spot! But, I'm also sad that many places can't make it due to not being able to hire staff, rising food costs, or just owners retiring I love it when places have been around for long time and continue to strive to the purpose of making people happy through food. Quan Hue (SJ) has been around for over 2 decades. Love all the dishes and snacks made here but I'm here for the: Banh Uot Thit Nuong (bbq pork w/ rice cake)"Mama", the owner, told me it's the best in all of San Jose! It's very delicious but I have not tried all of SJ! Bánh khọt (Vietnamese mini pancakes or mooncakes)- crispy on the outside and warm and creamy in the middle. Quick and fast service and prices are not bad. Lots of people. Plenty of parking and more difficult on the weekends read more

My friends and I usually get together about once every quarter or so and we get take out or do something simple. This time we got take out from Quan Hue. I placed my first order with one of the ladies there, she didn't speak much English but I was able to complete my order. As I was waiting for my order, Annie the owner came from the back. We started talking and I found out 2 of the orders i thought I ordered they didn't have. So I had to place a couple more items. Annie recommended #1 bbh and couple of broken rice. Which I went ahead and ordered. I also ordered 10 egg rolls. See the photos of all the food we ordered... hahaha Everything was delicious! Some items had to be reheated only cuz I had to drive about 45mins after I picked up the food. read more

3.5 STARS Me: "Hello, #12 please." Lady: "For you?...$15!" with a big *SMILE* Me *thinking*: "Call me hunnaaay and you got a deal!" *Wink Wink* Ok, so auntie trying to be smooth with her cute smile and didn't think I knew she was charging me more than the menu prices. Not going to argue over a $1 though. Well, not arguing with any AZN auntie period. It will never end well. Quán Huế has been serving Huế (Central Viet) cuisine inside Lion Plaza's food court for several decades so you know they're doing something right! My mom used to drag me there as a kid but I can't remember if we got food from Quán Huế. Back then, all I cared about were lunchables and fruit by the foot. Visited during Tết week a little before noontime, and they were starting to get busy. They're open for takeout and dine-in only. Outdoor seating available. If you're concerned about covid precautions and mask usage by vendors and customers, the food court isn't the best place to come. I'm glad they added outdoor seating but BYO wipes cuz the tables were dirty. Some staff wore masks at Quán Huế, some wore them as chin guards. M E N U There's 15 things on the menu but the most popular items are the Bánh Ướt (steamed rice noodle rolls), Bánh Xèo (Viet crepe), and Bánh Khọt (Viet mini pancakes). Catering trays available with pre-order. Cc's accepted but cash preferred. I paid in cash so the extra $1 charged couldn't have been a cc fee. F O O D * #12 Bánh Khọt: Viet Mini Pancakes w/ shrimp, mung beans, lettuce, herbs, nước chấm (7 pc - $15, menu posted states $14): https://bit.ly/3LkOcEj Made-to-order, the bánh khọt was light and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Prominent coconut flavor. Each savory mini pancake is topped with a fresh piece of shrimp and boiled mung beans adding a nutty layer. To make wraps, you also get romaine lettuce and herbs (rau răm, mint, perilla leaves, and cilantro); all were fresh, crisp, and properly washed. The nước chấm was watered down; more funk and acid please! S E R V I C E Friendly. I was quoted 10 minutes but it took closer to 20 minutes because they were behind with orders. They don't take your name and they don't give you a number. They remember your order by face. A M B I A N C E Run down, dingy food court; you come here strictly for legit Viet food. They have the SAME plastic lawn tables and chairs from when I was a kid! So vintage. P A R K I N G Chaotic parking situation on the weekends. Overall, pretty good bánh khọt that's perfect for a snack. Currently, Quán Ngon in Grand Century Mall has my fav bánh khọt (love the custardy center). If there's a better place, please LMK! read more
We haven't ventured out to this area of SJ for a while for Central Vietnemese food, so thank you Cherylynn N for posting about this spot to motivate us! Quan Hue is located within a food court, behind the plaza. The counter lady was very friendly and excited about giving recommendations. Everything is made to order so took about 15 minutes. We had a Bahn Xeo, which I had first had during our travels to Vietnam pre-pandemic. The Bahn Xeo is a crispy, savory crepe that is filled with shrimp, meat, and bean sprouts and tons of fresh vegetables that is best eaten fresh to enjoy all the textures. Their Bahn Xeo was huge and delicious and they literally gave us a huge bag of greens, that I'm not sure how could even be physically stuffed into the crepe. I also ordered the Bahn Khot's which were perfect little hand held bites for my kiddos. The bahn knot's are made with the same crepe batter at Bahn Xeo, but are small little tartlettes filled with mung beans and 1 shrimp. I had to get the Mi Quang #3 after seeing all the photos posted, and this noodle soup was amazing. The spices, the toppings, the minced meat, the herbs... all of it went together so well into a warm hearty dish. Loved it. The counter lady insisted we get the BBQ pork rice rolls, which we thought were a little sparse (just pork 1 thin lettuce wrapped in rice paper), and lacked enough flavor or ingredients. They also charge 50cents extra per dish for take out... Overall, fun place to visit, great spot, and tons of other great restaurants to try in the plaza as well! read more

Located inside a food court with about 7 other Vietnamese restaurants. They accept credit card payments. Ordered the thit nuong cuon and mi Quang. $25 total. Each dish comes with complimentary hot tea. Food was ready in under 10 mins. The thit nuong cuon was flavorful and it comes with a dipping sauce. The mi Quang style was okay for me. My husband likes it more. Says it's more of Dalat's style. It has little broth and is less saltier, with ground pork, tiny dried shrimps, jicama and fish cakes. The turmeric rice noodles is the small kind and I think were originally dried versus fresh noodles. It's also a big bowl, so very filling and it comes piping hot. read more

Nostalgia hit me hard today so I decided to relive my childhood eating in this plaza and from this decades old restaurant. Expecting only good food, who knew I'd be blown away by the owner of this restaurant. She took care of us - really, truly. As my friends and I were discussing what to order, she willingly jumped in to help us refine our choices. Also, when I mentioned that one of my friends was gluten-free, she went out of her way to confirm her vermicelli noodles had no gluten by sharing the actual product she used so we can verify the ingredients ourselves. The cherry on the top was her honesty. With our stomachs bigger than our eyes, we ordered several items for just the 3 of us. She literally stopped us in our tracks and said that's too much and so, we removed an entree thanks to her recommendation. And she was right. If we had that additional dish, it would've pushed us over the edge. We managed to finish exactly what we had to end up feeling perfectly content. Impeccable customer service aside, we very, very much enjoyed everything we ate. We particularly liked the banh uot thit nuong - no surprise it's one of her most popular and top dishes. She herself expressed her pride about the dish. We also ordered com tam with the works. It turns out the fried chicken is gluten-free since it's made with tapioca flour (my partner was delighted). I would also go out of my way for her banh bot loc because it tasted fresh and not reheated like other Hue restaurants in the area. I did wish her banh khot was crispier but that's a personal preference. And the bun cha nem nuong was good bang for your buck. I could go on. Like we also loved the tea - a lovely finishing touch to a hearty meal. Anyways, we'll have to come back for the banh xeo since she bent over the counter just to get our attention while at our table and told us we should try this dish next read more
BBH is good, but not anytning special. Mi quang is very tasty. The flavors were all there and very filling. Their thit nuong wraps are something I would skip on next time. It's three pieces of rice paper wrapped around meat for $9. Food was very fast and they accept card. read more
